Having trouble staying consistent with your workout plan?

Try adding exercise to your morning routine instead of the evening! I know ...I know…. The mere thought of giving up just 5 minutes of sleep is enough to get anyone’s blood boiling, but just think about the health benefits that you will gain from a consistent workout regimen.

How many times has life thrown a curve ball at you and screwed up your plans for an evening workout session? Getting exercise out of the way in the morning before the start of a hectic day is the only guarantee that you won’t skip it later. As the day goes by and your “to-do” list seems to get longer and longer, you can take satisfaction in knowing that you’ve already crossed a work-out off the list.

Statistics show that 90% of people that are committed to working out and are satisified with their results, do so in the morning hours. And if that’s not enough to get you up and out of the bed, check out these facts:
